Love from French poem (3)
I believe the answer is:
ode
'poem' is the definition.
(ode is a kind of poem)
'love from french' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'from french' becomes 'de' (French for 'from'**).
'o'+'de'='ODE'
(Other definitions for ode that I've seen before include "- - to a 12 Urn" , "Sung poem" , "Verse form" , "A poem celebrating person or event" , "Poem in praise of doe" .)
